THE DIALECTICAL NATURE OF EARLY CHRISTIAN DISCOURSE
Abstract
The topic of this address is the birth of Christian discourse during the first century of the common era. An analogy, if you will, can be the birth of the discourse of South Africa as a new nation. The strategy is to approach the birth of Christianity from the perspective of the kinds of discourses that interacted with one another over a period of a century (30-130 CE) to create a kind of speech that was perceived both to be distinct from the other Judaisms of the time and to have the nature of a discourse that was perceived to be complete in and of itself.Authors retain copyright and grant the Journal right of first publication with the work simultaneously licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License that allows others to share the work with an acknowledgement of the work's authorship and initial publication in this Journal.
